When you look at this image, what do you see?
What are the people in this image feeling?
What year do you think this photo was captured?
How do you think these people were feeling when this picture was taken?
Using pictures like these in teaching can capture emotion and an inquisitive nature in your students that ordinary lecture would not.
The picture of the young boy saluting is a toddler John F. Kennedy Jr.
What students will see is a cute little boy saluting an assassinated president, killed too early, and we will never know why. Hopefully this photo will open up a debate.
The second photo is normally entitled "Kissing the War Goodbye"
It is a wonderful picture of a woman kissing her husband as he returns to her after World War II.
I think it captures the relief that men were returning, alive, from a vicious war across the globe.
Pictures like these are gripping. They also make students think.
